Abstract
Pb5Al3F19, a member of the isostructural Pb5M3F19 family with M = Al, Ti, V, Cr, Fe and Ga, differs from the remaining members in having thr ee additional phases between its ferroelectric phase V and its paraele ctric phase I. Phase TV is shown to be antiferroelectric, phase III fe rroelastic and phase II paraelectric. Each phase(2)has been fully char acterized. Formation of the three extra phases is attributed to intera ctions between the G(sp) lone electron pair of the Pb2+ ion and volume effects related to the small Al3+ ion.
